Safeguarding Adults

The main principles of safeguarding are empowerment, prevention, protection, proportionality, partnerships and accountability.

Safeguarding adults is about responding and preventing the abuse or neglect of adults with care and support needs. Adult abuse can take many forms:

Physical Abuse

Sexual Abuse

Financial Abuse

Discriminatory Abuse

Emotional/Psychological Abuse

Neglect (and acts of omission)

Self-neglect

Organisational/institutional Abuse

Domestic Abuse

Modern Slavery

Hate and mate crime

Female Genital Mutilation

Safeguarding leads at Jersey Mencap are Alex Wiles and Ali Hand.

Contact the office for more information or to raise any safeguarding concerns you have.
